Abstract
Question: A 73-year-old man was referred to emergency after falling at home in a context of fever (38.5°C), abdominal pain, and several episodes of melena. He had undergone emergency surgery 10 days earlier for an acute bowel occlusion requiring resection and anastomosis of a necrotic portion of the small intestine. The patient’s notable history included nonmetastatic basal tongue cancer treated with radiotherapy/chemotherapy (cisplatin then currently cetuximab).
